DESCRIPTION
Marcus Grimes & Co are delighted to bring to the market for the first time in 3 generations this attractive detached family house in large west facing gardens within easy reach of the bustling High Street. Built on the instructions of the Shearlock family in 1935, who were the landlords of the Fountain Inn at the time, the house has remained in the same hands ever since.
This traditionally built and substantial home is set back, off the Brighton Road via a gated entrance and driveway leading to a wide carport at the side of the building. A porch protects the front door, opening into a hall, sitting room with fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen breakfast room, conservatory and ground floor WC. Upstairs there are 2 generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom and family bathroom. The house is fitted with aluminium/hardwood double glazed windows and gas fired central heating to radiators. The interior could be described as requiring modernisation.
There is ample potential to extend the property at the sides and rear, subject to consent. The gardens are beautifully maintained with sizeable front, side and rear plots. A patio abuts the conservatory area with a pathway and railing leading through the garden which is laid to neat lawn with mature well-trimmed bushes and shrubs, apple trees and small water feature. There is a garden shed for the storage of machinery etc. The front garden is laid to lawn beside the driveway with a Magnolia tree and well-maintained shrubbery, all enclosed by close boarded fencing. The house offers immediate vacant possession.
LOCATION
The Laurels is situated along the Brighton Road which stands within a minute or two's walk of the High Street of Handcross. Here, there is newsagents / general store, coffee shop, pub/restaurant, butcher and hardware store together with a few specialist retailers. Handcross is famous for its National Trust gardens at Nymans, which is just a two minute walk. Connection to the A23 is a few hundred yards away and provides fast easy access to Brighton, the coast, Gatwick international airport and the M25. There is an element of road noise in the garden as a result of this. Haywards Heath, Horsham town centres and Three Bridges are 8, 7 and 6 miles away respectively offering railway services to London from 34 mins, a wide range of shopping and other amenities. Local footpaths close by give access to delightful walks across the local countryside. Handcross has its own primary school and Handcross Park preparatory school, medical centre, church and recreation ground.
